The oldest boys and I have been chasing a few beavers that are causing problems. We aren't catching a bunch but we're having fun. I think we've only got 18 or 20 so far. The boys are getting better at being my automatic gate openers. And George is getting handier with a skinning knife. Emmett accidentally went swimming today, much to George's amusement.

Ha ha ha chewing on the tree!!!!

Burr. That was a cold swim.

The young bucks gnawing on the tree pic is fantastic. Your boys always look happy, which says a lot about how you all run your household. Soak it up my friend. They’re young men before you blink good.

Great pictures Sam!!!! Those boys won't be wet behind the ears when it comes to the outdoors. Great job with them and you are lucky they show the interest in the outdoors.

Thanks for sharing those great times!!

Love seeing kids getting excited about trapping,great picture's that's what it's all about,great job dad and kids......

They so fortunate to be growing up in the country. Their learning real life skills and having a ball doing it.

Thanks guys. I'm enjoying raising them, and trying to make it last as long as I can.

Those look like some great kids. And getting raised right.

Love the pic of them chewing on the tree. My wife seems to have one goofball pose in our outdoor pics.

That's awesome, no video games in them pics, they act pure country boyz.

Cool

Great pictures

Those pictures sure put a smile on my face this morning. Thanks for sharing.

Keep up the good work Big Sam. They'll be older and more hateful soon. They are still at that age where you can be like hey who wants to go to the hardware store and they run to the truck and want you to buy them a candy bar. Then the day comes where they just lay on the couch and look at you like thats the dumbest thing they ever heard of and you don't see it coming. lol. Mine just graduated college and moved back home so its a full circle kind of thing. Enjoy them laughs now. Great pics.

Couple more today. Had one beaver in a 330 in a run that a bear spent a lot of time smelling. I've no idea why she didn't take the beaver, but I'm glad she left it alone.

LOL that Emmett is such a little ham.

Getting wet and muddy is a good part of being a boy!
